Page 2 of 2 | "I studied at the Royal College, Curepipe. The excit¬ing part of this school was the environment, the school's architecture and its colonial building. It was quite different from the primary educa¬tion. The change was diffi¬cult. The secondary school was far from my residence. Its environment was differ¬ent. The students came from different places good families and were very academic. It took me some time to make friends. "In Forms I and II, I was not interested in Arts. The leaf painting, potato painting stuff was really boring. The turning point cane in Form III. Miss Lislet Lim Fat had the greatest influence on one and others. She was educated in France and taught us Art. She brought in new techni¬ques, methods, and style. Everyone got interested in her subject. She had the knack to make people love the subject. She taught us new trends and techniques. Now teaching of art is mostly about teaching how to ex¬press one's feelings.
"I did also enjoy the extra curricular activities apart from painting. I liked photography and was also a mem¬ber of the Saint John's Am¬bulance. My best friends Raj Mohabeer, Sudesh Reetoo, and I used to enjoy football and RC Curepipe were the only place in Mauritius where people played football on tar. Once while playing basketball, I hurt my friend, unintentionally when I threw the ball on his face. He start¬ed bleeding profusely. I still feel bad about hurting my friend, and this is the worst memory."
